I Tried Test-Driven Development for A Month and Survived
Dzone - DevOps
JANUARY 15, 2020
When I first heard about Test Driven Development (TDD) I immediately wrote it off as a technique that will slow me down, how on earth should I know exactly what my code will look like if I often refactor while coding. Then I realised TDD doesn’t mean what I thought it meant, you see the first time TDD was explained to me many years ago I was told “You write all your unit tests first” and that is what stuck with me.

Test-Driven Development is not Merely “Test-First”

Test-first yields analysis, it helps us determine what is clear, what is unclear or missing, and ferrets out misunderstandings. Unit tests are unforgiving, they don’t let you get away with anything. But Test-Driven Development also creates better design. Bad design is hard to test, and so moving tests into a primary position reveals the pain … Continue reading "Test-Driven Development is not Merely “Test-First”".

Extended Role of QA in Test Driven Development (TDD)
Xoriant
JUNE 9, 2015
TDD is an Agile Development technique in which developers write test cases before writing the corresponding code for the user story assigned to him. Once the code passes the Acceptance test, the code is then refactored /simplified to be used as production code. TDD focuses on writing the necessary code to pass the test thus making the process simple and clear. What is the primary goal of Test Driven Development (TDD)?

Test Driven Development
CodeSignal
SEPTEMBER 9, 2019
When a candidate has made it past the initial screening process, we’d typically like to take a closer look at their work, so there’s less of a need for automated testing. In this episode we look at a type of task that assesses a candidate’s ability to write tests using a testing framework, and then use them to write and validate a corresponding algorithm. The candidate’s ability to write their tests in this case is just as important as their ability to write a solution.

Today there was an interesting discussion between Kent Beck , Martin Fowler , and David Heinemeier Hansson on the nature and use of Test-Driven Development (TDD), where one writes tests first and then writes code. ” Kent often (though not always) liked writing tests first so that he could observe their behavior while coding. It’s possible to minimize this point and say it’s only relevant to debugging or testing. Write a test (action).
When TDD Is Not a Good Fit
Henrik Warne
SEPTEMBER 29, 2019
I like to use Test-Driven Development (TDD) when coding. Writing tests only makes sense after the solution is viable. Last week, I came across examples of where I developed new functionality without using TDD. Avoiding Premature Tests. There were two cases where I didn’t start with tests. In both cases, had I started by writing tests, I would have wasted effort on writing tests for solutions that turned out to be wrong.

Alternatives to Acceptance Testing
NeverFriday
JUNE 7, 2013
James Shore, author of the book “The Art of Agile”, wrote an article that covers the alternatives to acceptance testing. The way you write an acceptance test is to take a user story and then write code that tests the end result of a software process. The acceptance test would only confirm that the website works by testing and checking user-visible changes. When it comes to testing, my goal is to eliminate defects.
